Despite the six goals… See, let’s start here. Since that overtime debacle in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving weekend, the Sound Tigers have killed eight of the last nine five-on-threes against them, which is all the more remarkable considering they were only 12-for-22 to start the season. Yeah, Mike Zigomanis shot wide twice. Yes, Keith Aucoin missed […]

Some days as a writer, you just happen to be in the way. I went downstairs at the Spectrum tonight not sure how this 4-1 Bridgeport victory set itself apart from the other games of late. Another good, solid, team win. Wade Dubielewicz remained excellent. Clutch goals put Bridgeport ahead and kept it there. All […]

There’s a couple of you Gentle Readers who really ought to be on the BST payroll. That guy bashes Chris Madden in the preseason, and he has a solid first two months. PRussell bashes Wade Dubielewicz this morning, and Dubielewicz makes 36 saves tonight. Y’all ought to call some of the boys up and offer […]

The Abomination ends up 4-3, and the game ends up 3-2. Great […]

The weekly topic, as I mentioned last night, is sadly appropriate. It was a fantastic night on the ice, with the best team in the league in the house, and it was witnessed by friends and family. It’s just a shame. Heaven knows I can’t tell people how to spend their money, but 1,660 announced, […]

Well, maybe I oughta stop making excuses for this team. The defensive effort was stellar Wednesday night. Almost perfect. Bruno Gervais was tough back there. Newbie Scott Ford played physically. Chris Thompson? Hitting again, along with Travis Brigley and Steve Regier. Jeremy Colliton, back from the NHL, was outstanding, maybe the best player on the […]
